The genius developers behind the fabulous Cyanogen mod are at it again with their latest tease, the official Ice Cream Sandwich Trebuchet Launcher. As expected, the launcher requires root access and you must be running ICS 4.0.3. Keep in mind this is only an ALPHA release!
Both the apk file and flashable zip file are available over in the XDA thread. HTC has yet to release any Android 4.0 updates for their phones, but if you’re one of those who hangs around the XDA-Developers site, it’s not unreasonable to assume you have tested out one of the dozens of beta Android 4.0 builds that developers have cooked up over the past month.
If you give the Trebuchet Launcher a try, make sure to let us know how it runs on your HTC device!

Hi!
thanks, but what are the differences between ICS and this launcher?
What is better?
This launcher only work in for ICS devices running on Android 4.0.3
the list of features are all things that are not available on the stock launcher. They basically took what Google made and added more customization options.
Does it worked in my Desire HD, currently its having ginger bread, otherwise tell me any other launcher that makes me feel ICS
